Students: • When they perceive that they “have to teach ourselves” • Duplication of efforts may be viewed as busywork • Incentives become extrinsic motivators Faculty: • Do not provide immediate feedback to students • Lack of follow-through from faculty • Higher order thinking takes place outside of class vs. inside of class (limited opportunity to role-model) • Inadequate planning • Taking on too much at once What is it?
